Investment Opportunities of Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development

Austin Nichols

Biotechnological tactics are promising selections to petrochemical routes for overcoming the challenges of useful resource depletion in the future in a sustainable way. The techniques of white biotechnology enable the utilization of cheaper and renewable assets for the manufacturing of an extensive vary of bio-based compounds. Renewable resources, such as agricultural residues or residues from meals production, are produced in giant quantities have been proven to be promising carbon and/or nitrogen sources. This chapter focuses on the biotechnological manufacturing of lactic acid, acrylic acid, succinic acid, muconic acid, and lactobionic acid from renewable residues, this merchandise being used as monomers for bio-based cloth and/or as meals supplements. These five acids have excessive financial values and the attainable to overcome the "valley of death" between laboratory/pilot scale and commercial/industrial scale.
